Sci-Fi: An Anthropology Anthology of Other Worlds
Full text linkIn this magazine, student authors at Lawrence University explore the relationship between science fiction and ethnography. While different in terms of content, writing style, audience, and author, the two genres share an important objective: to make the strange familiar and the familiar strange. In exploring human variation and the diversity of cultural knowledge, anthropological accounts (ethnography) challenge the anthropologist and the reader to understand that their perspective of the world around them is one among many. Likewise, science fiction presents a world with its own logics that simultaneously comfort and estrange the reader. While science fiction and ethnography offer an opportunity to explore imagined and actual human variation, they can also hold up the mirror to our own society.https://lux.lawrence.edu/anth_sci-fi/1000/thumbnail.jp
